Helix Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 i just checked CPUZ and it shows my memory frequency 270.01 FBS:DRAM CPU/10 case#latency 3.0 clocks ras# to cas# delay 3 clocks ras# precharge 3 clocks cycle time (tras) 7 clocks back cycle time (Trc) 15 clocks Dram idle timer 16 clocks why is the frequency 270.1?? what happened to the 625... i checked the timing tables too slot#3 i dont understand why it shows slot 3 when im looking at my ram stick in slot 2, my other stick is in slot# 4 any ways SPD timings table Frequency 312MHz CAS#Latency 3.0 RAS# To CAS# 4 RAS#Precarge 4 TRas# 10 So what does it mean when at the top say my frequency is 270.1 and under the spd timings table shows the frequency as 312MHz how is my ram running at 625mhz i think i wasted money on this RAM 300 in the toilet oh well at leaset their life time but who cares cuz there already out dated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 OK, FSB is the frequency of the main signal clock on the motherboard. Your FSB is 270MHz or 270 million cycles per second. DDR(Double Data Rate) RAM works on both sides of the cycle. If you take 270 cycles and double it you get 540 data rate or DDR 540. To reach DDR625 your FSB will need to be 312. This is completely independent of the number of sticks or RAM you have installed. The SPD settings you are refering to are a fixed value coded into the RAM by the manufacturer. SPD stands for Serial Presence Detect. It allows the BIOS to read the data and set the AUTO settings accordingly if the BIOS has a valid table entry for that particular stick of memory.
